Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the increase of students’ mathematical communication ability gained from the learning using problem solving approach with hot potatoes software. Random sampling method was used to collect sample from one of the junior high school in Banda Aceh. The sample consisted of 32 students for experiment class and 32 students for control class. Quantitative method employing t-test and correlation test was employed to analyze the data. The results show that there has been a significant increase of students’ mathematical communication ability using the problem solving approach with hot potatoes software; students’ mathematical ability of the experiment class is higher than the control class. Furthermore, students in the experiment class have higher self-efficacy and therefore they can formulate a more directed mathematical model for solving geometry problems.
